Assignment
You are the assistant director of human resources. Janice Marshall has asked you to review the Code of Ethics to determine if John has violated its provisions. You are to prepare a paper that addresses the following.
Assignment requirements:
In this scenario, you will evaluate the Code of Ethics to determine if John Anderson has violated International Widgets’ Code of Ethics by engaging in business with a competitor.
Your role:
The human resources department worked with management to carefully craft a Code of Ethics. All employees received a copy of the code and were required to sign off stating that they had read the code and agreed to abide by its conditions. If an issue concerning an employee occurs, the human resources department investigates. As the assistant director of human resources, you are asked to evaluate an employee’s behavior. You meet with Gloria Smithson to obtain all information needed to begin your investigation.
KEY PLAYERS:
GLORIA SMITHSON
John has been employed by International Widgets for 14 months. He likes his job but was recently approached by a competitor with an offer he could not refuse. The competitor wanted to expand his domestic market and asked John to work with him for a few months. He asked that John provide him with the names and phone numbers of the customers he services. He said he didn’t want John to get into trouble with International Widgets so he would contact the customers and not John. However, he told John that for every customer who left International Widgets, John would receive a “1% payment from the customer’s first order.” John didn’t think he was doing anything wrong. He has two children in college and needs the extra money, plus he could continue to try to work with the customer to stay with International Widgets.
